Hi I’m Michael I’m 47 and the last few months have been very worrying. It all started after a significant change in my daily toilet routine feeing bloated in pain and runny stools. So I visited the GP who ordered lots of tests which all came back clear apart from my red blood cell count and the cancer screening that picked up blood. My fit test was 37 I know it’s not high but non the less it’s more than it should be. I had a colonoscopy last week and they took 6 biopsies and found a red inflamed area which as got me worried. I suffer with acute anxiety which is making things much worse. It’s been 7 days since the colonoscopy and I’m still feeling pain in my left side and still have all the symptoms I had before.
